Abstract

We first describe four recent methods to cluster vertices of anundirected non weighted connected graph. They are all based onvery different principles. The fifth is a combination of classicalideas in optimization applied to graph partitioning. We comparethese methods according to their ability to recover classesinitially introduced in random graphs with more edges within theclasses than between them.
